mazo kid,
Sorry, I was not referring to the woodworking. That, for me, is a bit of therapy and very relaxing. For me, the work would be the juggling of the tube, case, powder etc. And it would remind me of when I was chasing the last bit of minutia to achieve a better group. It became consuming and shooting lost it's enjoyment. The pursuit of "perfection" eventually caused me to quit shooting altogether. Now, I am happy with rifles that get me to 3 MOA, all day, every day. Handguns are still my weak spot, it was C&B that got me shooting again, and only accurate handguns are considered for sport.
I reload to garner more enjoyment from the sport. I shoot to relax and improve myself. It is a battle!
